Approved March 4,1873Students Duels?An American Champion at IIeidleberci.?A letter to the Chicago Tribune from Heidlcbcrg contains the following. The largest corps student that ever appeared in Ilcidleberg was an American who came here an average sized man, and went away something wonderful to behold, and having the honor of being the best drinker, as well us the best duelist iu Ilcidleberg ? So you see America bears one palm here, as everywhere else! lie fought something like a hundred duels and never got defeated until the last one he fought, when he got his nose almost cut off, when nothing daunted, he stepped up to his adversary, holding his nose with his hands and.challenged him to another duel, which was accepted. Thev fought, and the indomitable American, the hero of a hundred duels came out ahead, to the great gratification of all his admiring friends. lie is regarded to have been the greatest man in Ileidlcbcrg, (which he certainly was in regard to size), and his name will probably be handed down from generation to generation, looked up to as something superior, something almost immortal by the students. The house which they use for their duels is situated a short distance from the town, and when a duel is going on sentinels arc placed communicating between the building and the town; but this is entirely unnecessary, for though the duels are against the law, yet they are winked at by the authorities, in fact, the inhabitants are rather proud of them than otherwise, and would be very sorry if they were put a stop to. The student who took inc to sec the duel, and myself, started about half past ten in the morning and walked for about fifteeh minutes. We arrived at the house, and after introducing me to all his corps we sat down by a table and talked and drank beer, and waited ior tne uuei 10 commence. The duels arc arranged so that there are duc.s on three days in the week, whether provocation is given or not. The way of it is this. The directors of the duels take the names of each member of the corps as they occur, and pair them off, an J they arc compelled to fight, although they may he the vert best friends in the world, or perhaps relations. S,o you see when a fellow goes into one of these corps he is compelled to fight., although he may be a very peaceable fellffW, for as T said before, they don't wait for a provocation but figbt any how.? The swords they fight with are made of a long and very thin piece of steel, which bends very easily and is as sharp as a razor, so that the least touch leavesa mark. Thcstudonts here are cut up horribly, and.some of them arc really disgusting to look at, their faces arc so frightfully scarred. Last Friday I saw four duels, each pair fought for a quarter of an hour unless cue doctor declared him to be too badly hurt to fight it out for that length of time, when ol course the opposite party was declared victor. When a student gotcut the students all walked up and examined it with the utmost unconcern. The director also wrote down in his book how long and how deep the cut was and the longer and deeper it was the more was thought of the studci.it, and the doctor washed it out and sewed it up and the duel was continued hnloss the student thai was. cut was unable to do so, when he wa: declared the loser, and the duels went on a: before. All this reminded me very uiucho: a barber shop, with the barber calling ou1 "Next," when bis chair is empty. Horrible Butchery dya Husband.? In Saginaw, Michigan, on Tuesday last a German woman named Boose arose from her bed between the hours of three and four for the purpose of going out to do some washing, when her husband seized a hatchet and made a murderous assault upon the woman, striking her over the left eye, forcing that organ out upon her cheek, and following up his attack with blows upon other portions of the head and person until the woman fell senseless to the floov. Thinking lie had despatched her Boose then seized a butcher knife with the blade fully ten inches long and plunged it into his stomach just below the breast bone, and by pressing ^clawn on the knife, by apparently four separate cu^s, each one from an inch to an inch and a half o 1iahim]\1a inniciAn \*\ Inc Ill iUll^tll^ UlUUb tv IIUIHI/IU liiv^igiwil III IIIU uw domcn, through which his bowels protuded to a great extent. His two little boys in the meantime had commenced screaming, "You have killed mother!" "Yes," said the demon, and I will kill you too," at which the boys fled the house, Boesc, notwithstanding the terrible wounds he had inflicted on himself, next rushed from the house with the hatchin one hand and knife in the other. He returned in. a few moments, however, and was found by neighbors i.pon his knees, covered wifh blood from head to foot, his bowels dragging the floor. Upon being interrogated as to his conduct he replied, T have killed her," and with a gasp lie fell dead. The wife, although fearfully hacked, is not regarded as dangerously injured. Insanity caused the mischief. Masonic Baptism.?A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, of Wednesday. writes as follows: The novel ceremony of Maso-nic baptism ?? ?v i 'rv?u i.,of wad ||UiiUi uicrau iua^uuiv/ itvuiuiv iitoi by Albert I'ike, Esq., and other prominent Scottish Rite Masons, upon two children, sons of J)r. Joseph Nairn and Mr. E. B. McGrotly. Br. Nairn's child, an infant, was borne on a cushion covered with blue silk, and the ceremony was made'impressive lighted candles, burning incense, formalities and paraphenalia of the exalted degrees of the order, and there was a large attendance. Prayer, singing, etc., served as an introductory, when the children, their godmothers and others were admitted. Water, oil, and salt were used in the ceremony, the left hands of the children being dipped in a bowl of perfumed water, as a sign of dedication to the capse of virture and truth ; a delta was made on their head with the forefinger dipped in oil. as the symbol of wisdom, power and love of God; aud salt was placed in their mouths, as the seal of the Arabic vow, which sanctifies an enemy with whom one h<pj lasted salt. Finally the children were invested with lambskin aprons and Masonic jewels, and their Mason baptism was pronounced complete. Changes in the Bankrupt Law.? Congress, Tuesday, passed a bill amendatory of the bankrupt law. It allows all exemptions ailow.eJ by any State law on the 1st of January, 1871. It also gxempts a widow's dower, or other estate in 1 eu thereof, if the State law so provides; also life insurance to the amount of ?5,000. The time during which bankrupts may be discharged upon payment of fifty per cent, of their indebtedness is extended until July 1, 1S73; judgments obtained against persons or property before petitions In bankruptcy are filed arc to be first and fully satisfied. Changes in the methods of appointing registers, in ! the matter of marshals' fees, and other less important particulars, arc also made. A touching incident is reported from Chattanooga. An utter stranger called on a respectable'farmer last week and asked him if his house had not been robbed during the war. The farmer replied that it had. '"I," said the stranger, "was one of the marauding party that did it. L took a little silver locket." "That locket." said the farmer. bursting into tears, "had been worn by my dear dead child." "Ilere it is," replied the strancer, visibly affected ; "I am rich; let me make restitution ; here are twenty dollars for your little son." lie gave the farmer a fifty dollar bill and received thirty dollars in change. He then wrung the farmer's hand warmly and'left. The farmer has sinco dried his tears and loaded'his shot gun. The fifty dollar bill was bad. Mr. JefTerson used to relate, with much merriment that the final signing of the Pcclaration of Independence was hastened by an absurdly trivial cause: Near the hall in which the debates wore then held was a livery stable, from which flics came into the open window, and assailed the silk-stoekiugcd legs of honorable members. Handkerchief in hand they hashed the flics with such vigor as they could command on a July after noon, but the annoyance became at length so I nrrmnift as to render them iniDaticnt cf de- I lay, and they made haste to bring the momentous lousiness to a conclusion.?James Pitrton. At a school exhibition, which came off a short timo sinoe, one of the little boys who had a*grudge against his pedagogue, on account of a recent Hogging, is said to have delivered this pointed oration: "0. Lord of love Look from above On us poor little scholars: We've had a fool To teach our School And paid hiui fifty dollars." > In a recent debate, a member of the Cali. fovnia Legislature exclaimed: ''The honor; able gentleman front Calaveras county is un5 doubtedly a person of great abilities?a man } of many talents?a natural born genius; but [' there is one thing that T defy him to do, and j. that is, to Into the bottom of a frying-pan without smutting his no sr.". ^ADVERTISING RATES. * Space. 1 M. 2 M. 811.
